Good productUsed this for some outdoor work. It is very robust and up to the job. The wires are colour coded for 3 phase I believe so if single phase you should put a blue tail on the black wire. I cannot fault this cable although I do struggle with the end connectors for them. There never seems to be enough play to allow you to engage the threaded portion to start tightening up. I have followed all the instructional videos by professionals and its never been as easy as they make out, but thats a problem with the connector not the cable.

Strong!This cable is Danny good value. I know it's all about the copper content but have you ever bought a cooker cable £££! Anyways, this is perfect to run my garage up to 1000w according to Wikipedia. Thanks again Screwfix.

Answer:Â

The minimum bend radius is based on 6 x the outside diameter. Therefore in the case of this cable 80 mm.. Obviously It is not designed to be bent over a sharp edge. Is it possible to fit some sort of support/former at the edge to manage the bend?

You don't say how the cable is to be installed. However this is an armoured cable suitable for burial or surface mounting for situations like yours. Whether the cable is the correct size will depend upon the fuse protecting the circuit (the cable must be rated to carry a current larger than the fuse) and the length of the circuit so that the volt-drop over its length is acceptable. Please refer to the wiring regulations or a standard text and if in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

Please refer to our Bicon catalogue which you can find on the web. This particular cable with a diameter under armour of 9mm and an over all diameter of 13mm will require CW Gland Kit KA419-52 (20S). Please confirm by reference to the catalogue.

Please note we are not in a position to add up the total kW load of all your appliances & you do not state installation method (buried in the ground or otherwise). What is the rating of your fuse protection?If you are using a 32Amp fuse/breaker at the consumer unit then we would recommend a 4sqmm cable. Provided the fuse protection does not exceed 27 Amps then 2.5sqmm would be sufficient.RegardsPeter Fox

For us to advise if the 2.5mmÂ² would be suitable for your application we would require the exact total current supplied and the exact length of run as per the IEE regulations 17th Edition. If you are not sure please contact a qualified electrician who would be able to advise you.
